Hello guys, kinda stuck here.
What's the best way of advertising a General Discussion Forum - http://chatarena.org - without paying for anything?

Any ideas? Thank you 🙂
 
Go to other general chat forums and put your link in your sig. Promotion forums don't do much good, IMO.

Recon that will work?

A lot of forums do not allow promotions so its kinda hard.
 
Putting links in your signature is undeniably the way to go. There are thousands if not millions of forums all over the internet that allow them, and they are extremely effective, or at least that's been my experience.

Well, start by getting social. Make sure that your forum is set up with some of the latest social plugins, basically making it as easy as possible for people to share your forum with others.

I would also start by going through your list of friends and contacts, and inviting them to participate in the forum. The worst thing they could do is say no. It's worth a shot.

Then I would go to other general discussion forums that allow links in the signature, and then I would post there a bit. Attract some people from other forums.

Lastly, you could try and set up SEO and rank for keywords such as General Discussion Forum. SEOMoz.org is a great place to learn SEO quickly, and then once your forum starts moving up the rankings, you will see more traffic long-term.

Thanks for your help about forum promotion, forums can easily be promoted in forums if the forum allows, some authority forums may not allow forum promotion but you have option to use semi authority forums for promotional purposes.
